I'm sorry but i can't see Liston as a great or even good boxer ?

Possibly, but only because he was illiterate. The only thing we know with absolute certainty is they're both as old as dirt.

Whatever you say. Remember though, punctuation is your friend.

The first thing is that most of these threads (like this one) do not deserve a single response. We owe it to halfwit Queensbree, who keeps continually bringing up old trash because he himself is ignorant trash.

Liston was about 70 when he fought Ali. He had incredible power, massive reach, but limited boxing ability and no speed. honestly, probably would not be top 50 today. Even Ali would be no more than top 20 now, but he brought personality to sport, and that's more than boxing. Nash out.

You are one of the idiots who needs to be be shed. Ok, your little third-person routine is cute for a moment. But one quickly sees you don't understand boxing in the least. A video game is as close as you ever got to boxing. You have no idea how to watch a fight or what to watch for in a fighter. Liston is a top 10 AT heavyweight, and a lightweight like you wouldn't even know it. Go back to the cub scouts or the bluebirds, kid.

Larry ducked nobody. He would have jabbed Sonny into oblivion. Similar reach but Larry was taller and his jab was like a machine. Sonny had a great powerful jab but he'd be taking a lot more than he was giving.

Taking nothing away from Larry and his jab, but you really need to research Liston's jab as well: It's considered one of the absolute best in the history of the sport.
